2 - Use Hands-Free Lesson Playback

3 - Listen and Repeat Italian to Learn Faster

Listening is one of the best ways to start learning Italian. That’s because all you do is listen! Also, listening trains your ear to understand native Italian speakers and directly helps with speaking. If you can hear a phrase and all of the sounds inside, you can start speaking it.

ItalianPod101 lessons also slow down each word and phrase from the conversation, so you can repeat the phrases that you hear. And you can practice speaking Italian from the comfort and privacy of your car.
